[QUOTE="Scott Bradley, post: 296697, member: 21128"] In the event that your glaze is too thick. have you ever had that problem? I may have only been a tech for 17yrs but I have seen and done a lot with the analog and digital. I have never in my career seen the accuracy of a printed model. I have doctors all across the states telling me that they have been in business for over 30 years and they have never seen crowns fit this precisely before. I've actually had 2 relatively new doctors just last week tell me almost the exact same thing "you know what I can't get used to? everything fitting perfectly and 10 min seat times". One takes a polyvinyl impression and the other sends me a digital scan. I scan the impression with one and design on the others. It sounds like you might be a little fearful of technology and what it can do. There is a very slow learning curve to make it right but you can find help here. I started with the Cercon machine and the old Procera Mod 40 (precursor to the Piccalo) and waxing crowns and copings with a bunson burner. Things were cool back then but they also sucked. Technology is getting better everyday. If someone doesn't know what they are doing then yes, the digital print can be terrible. But if you have an educated person doing the task it's perfect. I think everyone could benefit from adding tech to their daily workload but if you are getting older and have not yet jumped into the world, maybe don't. The work has been good for you so far and it will fall apart when you start learning again. I read above that you can teach someone off the street about designing a crown in a couple of hours but they won't know about the intricacies of the art. True! But you take someone who knows and can create from nothing and teach them to design a functional and beautiful crown? Good things can come from that! [/QUOTE]
